  1. All you really need are Class 5 shields, Class 5 engines, and a fully trained Navigator.
  2. Be aware of the communications bug.  If Gorzek will not respond, exit and save the game, and use some utility such as CPUGrab or Dosbox to slow your PC down by at least 90-95%.  Once he finishes communicating with you, you can speed the game back up.
